[ CAREERS · 9 MOTHERS ]

· 12 open roles

Build counter-drone systems in Austin.

We ship hardware on software tempo — AI perception, kinetic engagement, and the kill chain that closes them. Hard problems, real deployment, short iteration loops, and the people doing the work own the spec.

[ WHY 9 MOTHERS ]

Why this team. Why now.

If you've ever shipped hardware inside a slow program of record and thought we should be doing this in months, not years — this is the team for you.

  1. 01

    The work is the perk.

    Autonomous perception, terminal engagement, manufacturable hardware — designed and built in one room. You'll own a system, not a Jira ticket.

  2. 02

    Short loops, real telemetry.

    Range time, range data, range fixes. We instrument what we build and we iterate on what the data tells us — not on what the roadmap deck promised six months ago.

  3. 03

    Operators are users.

    Mass, setup time, and human factors are first-class specs. The people carrying it are in the loop from week one — not at acceptance testing.

  4. 04

    Built to be afforded.

    Cost-per-shot, serviceability, and manufacturability are design constraints. We're building weapons the U.S. and its allies can afford to use at scale.
